šŸš€Explore The Night Sky + Post Pub DrinksšŸ”­(Subject to Weather)🪐
🌌Ever look up and marvel with insatiable curiosity at both the beauty and wonder of the **universe?** That wild sobering thought that somewhere in the chaos of creation - the emergence of life - the universe became **conscious** enough to look back and ask the existential questions; How it all started, our evolution and place in it, and where else in the cosmos other complex life might exist (we know almost every star you see has planets orbiting with up to **20 billion habitable exoplanets** easily in our galaxy alone!)? 🪐🌟🌟🌟 šŸŒThen RSVP to view the potential life harbouring moons of **Jupiter**, comets, the famous **Orion Nebula** where stars like our sun were born, the majestic rings of **Saturn**, the international space station, well known star fields, remnants of **supernova** witnessed by our early ancestors, multi-star solar systems (think the double sun in Starwars), the Tau Ceti star with **2 Earth like planets** orbiting in the habitable zone, plus a range of other fascinating celestial wonderments (comets, galaxies) over drinks and engaging chats and banter this Jan fully hosted by a passionate amateur astronomer and former global Journalist covering big picture stories including cutting edge science related ones. šŸš€In between observing - we'll have **drinks and engaging chats** on all astronomy related topics for those inclined - space exploration, Fermi Paradox, Astrobiology, Cosmology, paleontology, SETI/Drake Equation (I have my own augmented version giving more realistic estimates of likely alien civilisations!), exoplanetology etc as well as non space chatter and banter too. No doubt we'll hear the usual jokes we've all heard before! If those don't make you laugh, my impersonation of Los Angeles ET will! šŸ‘½ And to help set the mood and make the night feel even extra galactic, I’ll put my DJ hat to play some space‑themed tunes and songs about the stars! **======= Joining Astronomers Group & Telescopes =======** I'm able to take a limited number of people (please only RSVP if you can make it) to join my friendly informal relaxed London amateur astronomers' club that have been for over a decade with their regulars made up of up to about 150 people. As there will be people attending from this private Astronomers group as well as others from one of my other groups - the total attendees will be far higher than rsvps here and the public liability insurance only covers a max number of people - hence I need to impose strict limits on attendance. Over the years we have enjoyed numerous social evenings of stargazing and thought provoking chatter with people of all ages and varying levels of astronomy knowledge - so complete beginners that are genuinely curious about the universe are very welcome. If you are just looking to meet generic randoms then there are others groups that will better cater for that. The world renowed **BBC Television Sky at Night** also attended our events pre covid and interviewed some of us for it's show that aired on BBC1 in Feb 2019. BBC **Radio London** (94.9 FM / digital) were there Aug 2023 to cover our meteor shower event broadcasting live to millions of Londoners for 3 hours You don't need a telescope as you will be able to view through scopes belonging to me and other club members (as long as you behave responsibly and don't temper with expensive equipment). If you have your own telescope/binoculars feel free to bring along and I can help you setting it up if you're a newbie **==== Food & Drinks With Seating From Warm Indoor Cafe ====** Alcoholic beverages (wine, beer, cider only), hot drinks and food/snacks will be available to purchase from an indoor cafe at the observation point which Regent's park keep open exclusively for the astronomers group so please don't bring your own drinks **==== ITINERARY =====** We will meet outside Camden Station. After a short wait for anyone delayed, I will escort everyone to our observation point in the local park 15 minutes walk away and brief you in terms of what to expect, observing etiquette, tips, equipment handling and take any questions you have - weather general or astronomy/cosmology related. **After Drinks:** Unless I have a very important 9AM Thursday deadline for a client presentation or something that I'm still gonna be writing 2 mins before start - most of us usually head our way back to Camden for another drink. If so - I will annouce the pub when we leave the park **==== What Can You Expect To See (this time of year)? ====** * Orion Nebula * Jupiter and 4 moons * Meteors * Andromedia Galaxy * Saturn, rings & moon * Star clusters such as the Pleiades & Owl Cluster etc * International Space station fly by * Venus & Mercury * Binary & tripple star systems (think planet *Tatooine in* Starwars!), * Neptune * Uranuus * Mars * Our moon * A look towards the galactic centre where that supermassive Ā£22b Labour black hole sits (Sagittarius A) More here from Jodrell Bank Observatory/Astrophysics Centre: [http://www.jb.man.ac.uk/astronomy/nightsky/](http://www.jb.man.ac.uk/astronomy/nightsky/) Guide to viewing the cosmos for beginners: [https://phys.org/news/2018-05-universe-distant-starstips-cosmology-backyard.html#jCp](https://phys.org/news/2018-05-universe-distant-starstips-cosmology-backyard.html#jCp) **===Weather Dependent=====** The event is subject to clear skies forecasts on the night so if on the actual afternoon of the event the weather forecasts looks unsuitable beyond doubt then I will postpone so please check the event status on the day of the event . If this event is still listed here at 5PM on the day, it will be going ahead at the designated day and time! Happy Stargazing Lucas Skywalker - The Singin, Dancin, DJ-in Astronomer

Is Philosophy Useless?
Is Philosophy Useless?
ā€˜Reserving judgement is as good as having no opinion.’ - Madam Herta ā€˜If the truth shall kill them, let them die.’ - Immanuel Kant Two philosophers sit in an awkward silence glancing at each other with resentment, but not towards each other, but rather human nature. They know that they can elevate each other so much with their expertise and beyond if they each provide constructive criticism to the other, offer advice or warnings, so long as the other receives it. Yet they don't do any of that as they both know it is human nature to be repelled by any form of criticism, critique, or complaint, and therefore it is futile to try. They both recall the last time they did try, and the response they received. ā€˜How dare you be more clever than me! Show off! Know it all! Oh you're just tryna help? Well you can help by adding onto MY point! Not saying a counter point. That is the true purpose of rationality, to prove I’M right, no matter what!’ Yea, perhaps, never again... ā€˜You all think my jokes are not funny? Laugh!!!!!!’ ā€˜HAHAHAHHA… Ha… Hahah… Ha…’ ā€˜That's more like it!’ ā€˜My liege, I don't understand why you force them to laugh? Wouldn't it be more authentic if you, well, refined your comedic talents?’ ā€˜Listen, who actually cares about authenticity? Sure, my subjects resent me, but their fear of me and their dependency on me is so vast that their resentment is negligible. If I weren't in such a good mood, I would have you executed for such a brazen comment… On second thought, guards!’ And thus, we will never know whether the subjects really found the jokes funny or not. Not that that matters anyway. I have never met a person who solely uses reason. Would love to duel them though. Intellect is a game of thinking. Humans naively pick out pretty rocks from a sandy beach and claim to have grasped the truth of the world. This so-called "mansion of knowledge" is nothing more than scattered building blocks that outsiders can stack as they please. You once saw a shameless scholar who used money to pay off any voices that would refute the findings of his research, such that he became a prophet in the eyes of the people. His falsified materials slowed scientific research by three Amber Eras. You also once witnessed a true genius whose thinking preceded his time, and his great cure for incurable diseases destroyed the careers of thousands of interstellar medical practitioners. He was therefore regarded by these doctors as a lunatic and committed to an asylum. If that is the case, why can't you be the person to hold the building blocks? Knowledge is no more than an illusion. As long as people believe, even a worm can win debates against the stellar gods. Heroes often have the luxury of being ethically illiterate and inept. They adopt what is conventionally good and never need to question what is really good or bad. Villains on the other hand, they do. They think things through and question what they're doing cus the stakes are higher for them. Sometimes they twist the truth just to make themselves seem virtuous when in reality they're not. But it could be argued that that's at least better than never questioning ethics to begin with. Ironically, ethics will never evolve without villains. If I’m so stupid, why don’t you prove that I’m incorrect. If I’m so evil, why don’t you prove that what I’m doing is wrong. Philosophers are just sick fucking people. They shouldn’t have the right to speak. They should all just fucking die! RAH! RAAHH!! GGRRR… Ugh, but they have wisdom. They’re cool if you can safely extract it. Then what is the cue that tells you they’re safe to talk to? Sometimes I do feel like unquestioningly following conventional morals and being a sheep, just for a day or a week. But I know I will regret it afterwards. Two fools are debating a problem. A genius overhears the commotion, and decides to take time out of their busy schedule to step in and enlighten them to the truth and the solution to the problem, with flawless logic, and flawless knowledge. The two fools must now follow in the footsteps of the genius; take the solution and implement it. But they don't, as that is quite difficult after all. So they find another problem to squabble about. The genius, again, comes in and offers the solution. And again, the two fools find another problem to fight over. This process repeats until the solution to all problems has been enlightened to the fools. Will the fools finally use the truth to take action? Or will they actually regress their knowledge and intellect, pretend they never heard what the genius said, just so to continue arguing? The only thing the two fools can agree on however, is that genius is such a killjoy. Clearly, philosophy isn't perfect. So what can we do about it? The rationale so far. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EMqdv32V7PeUETjq6r8mzsVyXskuQBYoJIv4e-EDtm8/edit?usp=sharing

Philosophy of Friendship: What are the bases of "friendship"?
Philosophy of Friendship: What are the bases of "friendship"?
As you may or may not know--I didn't until late last year--Aristotle wrote extensively on "friendship" in the Nicomachean Ethics. After 69 years the concept of friendship still creates questions and uncertainty. I had close friends in high school and for a few years after high school but our interests diverged and people moved all over the country so it was hard to maintain connections. * So if I/you haven't talked with a friend for several years, are you still friends? Are we friends who meet at Drunken Philosophy or Omnipresent Atheists? * Can you be friends with someone with whom you have virulently divergent political views? Sartre and Camus could not. * Aristotle regarded friendship as essential to a good life, not merely an added "bonus." Do you agree? * In the Nicomachean Ethics (Books VIII and IX), he claims that wealth and power are meaningless without friends. Trump has wealth and power but seems to have no real friends, but wealth and power seem meaningful to him in perverted ways. Can you have meaning in your life without friends? * Do men and women view and maintain friendships in different ways? * Aristotle categorizes friendship into three types, based on what forms the bond: * **Utility**: Based on mutual benefit, but this type is fragile and ends when the usefulness ceases. * **Pleasure**: Based on shared enjoyment (e.g., humor, hobbies). Common among youth but fades as interests change. * **Virtue (The "Complete" Friendship)**: Based on mutual respect for each other's character and goodness. You wish good for the other for their sake, not yours. * **Key Principles of "True" (Virtuous) Friendship:** * **Permanence**: Virtuous friendships last a lifetime whereas those based on utility and pleasure are fleeting. * **Reciprocity**: Requires mutual goodwill; secret or unreciprocated affection does not qualify. * **The "Second Self"**: A true friend is "another self"—their virtue helps you understand and improve yourself. * **Time and Intimacy**: Deep ("complete") friendships are few, built on time and shared experiences. * **Self-Love and Friendship:** * Good friendship starts with being a friend to yourself. * They distinguish shallow egoism (chasing honors) from real self-love (pursuing virtue). * A virtuous person’s pleasant self-company allows them to be a stable, good friend to others. * Aristotle argues that one's social circle ultimately reflects one's character—a view with striking relevance today. Well--the Drunken Philosophy social circle certainly reflects good character!
